I read this very interesting article on AppleInsider the other day.
The article goes in depth about how so many iPhones have been "hacked" and how people are doing it. Don't think that entire 1.5 million is users who bought them in one country and shipped them to another...this article goes deeper than that. How deep? As deep as the supply chain...
Have a read
Is this a good thing for Apple? Or a bad thing? Discuss.

Bad: Apple makes a commission from monthly phone bills. They are losing boatloads of $$.
True, but I've heard the commission only $10, so it's not the end of the world. One article that I read said that it's actually a good thing for two reasons. #1 It shows how popular the device could be in other markets if they ever wanted to go there. #2 It gives Apple more visibility in the market - adds to their halo affect too.
if my calculations are correct, that would mean 3.6 billion dollars lost over the two year contract.
I know! i was watching when this happened...
